Consolidation Topic

[fbnut]

Just think of some of the Freen student athletes they transfered to Ironton that may not of if they were Wheelersburg. Lewis the Rb comes to mind didnt he attend Gree thru Jr high?

Which Lewis, there's a bunch of Lewises at Ironton. Kochendoerfer came to Ironton from Green, not sure of any others.

I thought Kochendoefer camefrom the burg?

You guys have Me wondering now but I thought Kochendoerfer came from Green, maybe not.

I believe Darius Lewis is who you are thinking of boilermaker.

Need some help on the situation, can the state do this, how often does it happen? Is Green's schools deemed unsafe, condemned? Is Green having trouble with a levy? Does Wheelersburg have a say in this? Has anybody else heard these rumours?

I know alot of studies have been going on about School Consolidations. I'm not certain but I think it's up to the Govenor of Ohio, I heard that you might start seeing alot more of this in Ohio to "save money".

Very interesting. Hasn't Green been trying to get a levy passed for a few years and it keeps failing? If this were to happen that would take Wheelersburg, listed at 150 boys by the OHSAA and Green listed at 70, combine to make 220 which in football would put them in DIV. I could see this happening though, and it's not a matter of if but when more and more things like this start to happen.

kochendoefer did come from BURG, that is a fact!!

Kochendoefer has lived directly behind Green high school his whole life but went to the Burg before transferring to Ironton. Darius Lewis went to Green some in elementary school. Burgs new school not big enough to take on that many kids anyway.

[High Plains Drifter]

It's going to happen but don't know for sure When.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

HE IS TALKING ABOUT DARRIUS LEWIS AND HE LIVED HIS WHOLE LIFE IN IRONTON, EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN FRANKLIN FURNACE.

Consolidation is a bad thing. I know one guy from Kenova well. CK (Cereda-Kenova) played very good small school football in West Virginia. When they consolidated the schools to make Spring Valley he said it just killed the spirit of the whole area. I also know some guys from the Lincoln County WV area. They made that big Lincoln County HS. One has boys that play there. They hate it.

I would say this would really hurt Wheelersburg if it happened. Most of the good athletes from Green already go to burg. The Green Pee-wee system has been a feeder for the burg for years. Consolidation would cause them to play up in division with basically no change of talent. Also the further kids have to travel to play ball, the less that play. The large areas that Northwest and West kids have to travel has been a problem for years. It's not near the problem with city schools.

If this does happen not all of Greens students will go to Burg. Some will go to the other districts in the area.

The combining of schools can make schools to big. Where unlike the reason people went to the Cheers Bar on tv. Why because everyone knows your name. That is good for some students and bad for others. The Govenor may want this done but maybe he should enforce the court rulings on funding. As well as having higher gas prices to go with longer bus rides. The deals that the local and state goverment has given the big business which are located in the district but do not pay full taxes to support the Green Schools has hurt. This will also not help if the schools combine.

You are absolutely right, this Tax break for busineses is a two edged sword, if you don't give them the Tax breaks they'll find somewhere else to go and then you end up losing much needed jobs. You give them the Tax breaks and your not getting the Tax support for your schools.

I worked for a Foreign owned company in WV for 5 years and they asked for their Tax breaks to be extended, the State declined to extend the Tax breaks so the business closed shop and moved their production back overseas and now ship their finished product back to the States. (The Auto Industry)

FYI, Nelsonville-York and Trimble will be combining soon some of trimble students will go to Athens, Morgan and a few to Fed Hock, that is until Fed Hock and Alex combine!

Guys something has to be done. Consolidation will enable the districts to offer more academic classes. Streamline costs. Yes athletics will take a hit at first. Does Scioto County really need twelve high schools?

No they dont.....Portsmouth and Glenwood should consolidate.

Clay and New Boston are building new schools. At least New Boston was supposed to if they settled on a piece of land.

Just throwing it out there, but maybe that is part of the reason Portsmouth gets shot down for SOC entry. If they consolidate those schools, Portsmouth would be huge playing in a small school conference.

[bengalfan76]

Criminal to build to HS for those small schools consolidate them and Build one HS.
